System information

SECTION TWO - FRONT PANEL OPERATION
The graphics on this control are full 3D and will be displayed in the graphics area as long as the
control remains in the Graph mode. When other displays are requested, windows will appear in
the graphics area showing the requested data. When these functions are finished, the windows
will disappear and the graphic display will be reinstated. The scales at the bottom and left side of
the screen are to be used as a reference for the part size. As the screen scale is changed, the
graduations on the rulers will change accordingly. The ruler graduations are in machine units; on
inch system the largest graduations equal approximately one inch. In metric the largest
graduations are 10mm. The Runtime at the top of the screen is basically a stopwatch that starts
when a Run Program command is executed and stops at the end of program or when the program
is aborted. The total job time is kept in program parameter #369 “Job Time”.
The next section will explain how to manipulate the part displayed in the graphics area. All the
following functions are accessible through the Displ-Graph screen.
Note: The graphics are cleared from the display at the start of running or verifying a program.
F1 (Rot) Main-Run-Displ-Graph-Rot
When the display rotate function F1 (Rot) is selected the following screen is displayed.
(F1 -XY, F2 -XZ, F3 -Y2, F4 -ISO)
The F1, F2, F3, and F4 keys give the four standard rotations of a part: XY top, XZ front, YZ
side, and isometric views. The orientation index in the lower left corner of the screen shows the
current part orientation. Depressing the F1 thru F4 keys moves the orientation index to its new
position. The F5 thru F10 keys are used to rotate any of the selected axes in 5° increments.
Again, as the key is pushed, the orientation index rotates indicating the orientation of the part
display. F5 and F6 rotate X axis ±, F7 and F8 rotate Y axis ±, and F9 and F10 rotate Z axis ±.
